Das Bild zeigt eine Reihe von Fotos, die eine Demonstration in Deutschland zeigen. In den verschiedenen Bildern sieht man eine Gruppe von Menschen, die sich auf einer Straße versammelt hat. Viele Demonstranten halten Schilder und Fahnen, darunter ein gelbes Schild mit der Aufschrift "Stell Dir vor es ist Frieden und alle gehen hin!" und ein blaues Banner mit einem Symbol. Einige Demonstranten tragen rote Hüte und Trommeln, was auf eine friedliche Demonstration hinweist. Ein Mann trägt ein schwarzes T-Shirt mit der Aufschrift "A.L.U. Legalität für Unabhängige". Ein weiteres Schild in einem der Bilder lautet "Wir wollen die Wahrheit hören". Die Demonstranten scheinen sich in einer städtischen Umgebung zu befinden, mit Geschäften im Hintergrund. Die Atmosphäre wirkt friedlich und organisiert.

Thumb’s Up, Heart Check
A simple “thumb test” is gaining traction as a potential early indicator of aortic aneurysm. The test involves holding up one hand, palm facing, extending the thumb as far as possible, and attempting to move it across the palm and beyond the opposite edge. Individuals who can successfully perform this maneuver, touching or exceeding the opposite side of their hand with their thumb, may have a higher likelihood of having a hidden aortic aneurysm.
This increased flexibility, often associated with connective tissue disorders, could indicate a weakened aorta, making it more susceptible to enlargement and potential rupture. While not a definitive diagnostic tool, a positive thumb test result should prompt a discussion with a doctor, potentially leading to further screening for aortic aneurysms, especially for those with risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, or family history of the condition. The test is easy to perform and can be a convenient self-assessment, but it’s crucial to remember that it’s not a substitute for professional medical evaluation. Early detection of aortic aneurysms is vital because timely treatment can prevent life-threatening complications.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •The entirety of the US economy in the 21st century has been a tech bubble, and AI is the thing that is finally going to cause it to burst. Its perfectly ironic and fitting that they created a technology that literally eats itself and its forebears.
The monopolists have finally run dry of easy shit to sell us junkies. Currently we are snorting baking soda and watching Bluey while they consolidate everything they can politically before we finally hit bottom. As painful as it is going to be, the only way out is through. Politically, its going to open a lot of doors. Sobriety can be both beautiful and deadly.
